Our Registration takes place each spring during the first full week of March. A fee of $100 is charged; this fee is refunded if child is not placed in a class for the upcoming fall's school-year, but is non-refundable if child is enrolled in a planned class. Enrollment is based on a documented priority system, as follows:

First Priority: Church member children presently attending Cokesbury Children's Center

Second Priority: Families with 2 or more children presently attending Cokesbury Children's Center, and re-enrolling 2 or more children for 2009-2010.

Third Priority: Families with 1 child presently attending Cokesbury Children's Center.

Fourth Priority: Church member, children not presently in the Cokesbury Children's Center.

Fifth Priority: Siblings of children who are presently attending Cokesbury Children's Center. 

Sixth Priority: Families not in the above categories. General Public.

Class placement is at the discretion of CCC leadership, with consideration given to age groupings, special needs, and other compatibility and "best-fit" factors. 

Classes are filled according to the established priority system and waiting lists are then established.
